No MOT data — worth knowing

Got a specific John Deere Xuv865m you're checking out?

The real detail is in the individual vehicle report — MOT history, AI Hunches, mileage timeline, and defect patterns for that specific reg.

UK

This John Deere XUV865M is essentially failing MOT testing — a first-time pass rate of 0.5% is catastrophically below the UK average of 80%, and none of the 739 vehicles analysed passed on their first attempt. There are no recorded dangerous defects, but that's cold comfort when the vehicle is practically guaranteed to need work before it clears inspection.

With a median mileage of just 4,106 miles for a six-year-old machine, these are relatively low-use units, yet the zero average failures and advisories recorded suggest either systematic testing issues or that this particular model sits outside normal MOT assessment frameworks — possibly because it's an off-road utility vehicle not typically subject to standard car testing. If you're considering one, verify its MOT history directly and confirm it's even required to test under standard UK rules, as the data here is too anomalous to be reliable for purchase decisions.

MOT statistics not available

We have 739 2018 John Deere Xuv865m vehicles on record, but none have light-vehicle MOT history in our data source.

There are a few reasons this can happen:

  • Heavy commercial vehicle — trucks, buses and coaches over 3.5 tonnes are tested under the DVSA annual HGV/PSV regime, which uses a separate database not included in our data source
  • Imported vehicles — vehicles registered abroad and recently brought to the UK may have no UK MOT history yet
  • MOT-exempt — vehicles manufactured before 1986 qualify under the 40-year rolling exemption; some specialist and agricultural vehicles are also exempt
  • Never used on public roads — some vehicles are registered but kept off-road and have never required an MOT

What tends to go wrong

Across 739 vehicles — figures show how many had each issue flagged at least once in their MOT history.

Brake wear 100%
Rear Brake pad(s) wearing thin
Ask the seller when brakes were last serviced. If they don't know, factor in the cost.
Suspension & steering 100%
Offside Rear Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint has slight play
Harder to spot without a ramp — this is a good reason to book a pre-purchase inspection.
